The Answer.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
In answer to the little problem
published in your columns last week
| submit the following solution and
answer:
Any number which is a multiple
of 2 3 A 5 and 6, with the addition
of one, will represent number OF
eggs that when taken out by hand
fulls of 2 3 A 5 or will still leave
one remaining in the basket. Thus
90 is the least common multiple OF
these numbers and 81 is the least
number of eggs that can be placed
in the basket and when so taken out
will in each case leave one remain
ing. But the problem asks for a
number of eggs which will when
taken out in handfulls of 2 3 A 5 and
8 leave one remaining and when
taken ont in handfulls of will leave
none remaining, or in other words
you want multiple of 2 3 A 5 and
6 plus l, which will also be multi
of Z. This can be obtained only by
trial.
The least common multiple of 8
A 5 and 6, with the addition of one,
is 81. This is not~a multiple of Z.
The next largest common multiple
of these numbers is 2x60-l-1-121,
and this is not multiple of 7.
The next is 3x60-l-1-lS1, which
is not multiple of Z.
The next is 4x60-I -1-241, which
is not multiple Of Z.
The next is 5x60-|-1-30l, which
is multiple of and is the answer
to the question.
